Pat Robertson: Obama Must Listen To 'His Fellow Africans' And Ban Homosexuality

Televangelist Pat Robertson tries to insist that he’s not “some sort of right-wing extremist(link is external),” which could only be convincing to someone who has never watched an episode of his daily television show, “The 700 Club.”

Take, for example, today’s program, in which a Christian Broadcasting Network reporter profiled(link is external) the debate in Kenya over President Obama’s support for LGBT rights(link is external) and Kenyan Bishop Mark Kariuki’s anti-LGBT efforts. In an interview with CBN, Kariuki called on Kenyan leaders to reaffirm the country’s laws making homosexuality a crime punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment, and urged Obama to reverse his support for LGBT rights before it leads to America’s destruction.

Robertson, who, like Kariuki, believes that LGBT rights will lead to divine(link is external) wrath(link is external) against America(link is external), said that “those Africans have got it right(link is external).”

“One wishes that the president of the United States would listen to some of his fellow Africans, cousins, to what they have to say because they speak truth and they speak wisdom,” he added.
